About Missy M.

SINGING: During vocal lessons we will work on the musical style of your choice. Generally speaking, we will spend about half of the lesson working on breathing technique and vocal exercises suited to your style and skill level. The rest of the lesson we will work on applying technique to songs. If you would prefer to only work on technique during your lessons, that is fine too- just mention it!

*** Lesson Details ***I am here to teach you at the pace that works best for you! Everyone is different and everyone likes different styles of music- I try to cater to that as much as possible. I will always set the expectation bar as high as you're willing to go.

For piano, when teaching in books, I normally go for the Faber! For guitar, various renditions of Hal Leonard, and for voice, The Rock and Roll Singer's Survival Manual. If you feel that you're better suited to learn primarily by ear or without the specific training of instruction books, let me know and we can pursue alternatives.

*** Studio Equipment ***Great room setup for lessons with keyboard and instruments. Parents can sit in on lessons.

I work well with all types of beginner piano and guitar players and excel with people interested in learning how to write songs, learn chords and fun rock riffs.

If you are looking for a top-notch music instructor for voice, guitar, or piano, look no further!
My granddaughters took voice, guitar, and piano from Missy from the age of third grade through high school. I selected Missy due to her experience: classically trained on piano and voice during her formative years, studied at Berklee College of Music, Boston, toured the country as a solo singer/songwriter, and played world-famous and iconic venues, including the late CBGBs in New York City and the Bluebird in Nashville. You can find her on iTunes, and one of her students, Paul Thomas Mitchell (a.k.a. Tommy Mitchell) was on the hit television show, America's Got Talent.
When my granddaughters were young, Missy worked tirelessly to create lesson plans for my granddaughters in order to keep them interested in music. For example, if my younger granddaughter (3rd grade at the time) was unmotivated to practice in her workbooks at home, Missy would spend part of a lesson just talking with my granddaughter about what music she was currently enjoying. Then Missy would incorporate that music into her lesson plan. As a result, my granddaughter became once again motivated to practice. Missy makes lessons fun while still teaching technique.
I never imagined all that my granddaughters would learn and enjoy while studying under Missy. And Missy's work with her students does not end in her music studio. My granddaughters participated in summer band camps and performed at small local venues, all organized by Missy.
Although my granddaughters no longer take lessons from Missy, because they live out of town and are in college, we all consider her a dear friend. She genuinely cares about her students and keeps in touch long after lessons end.

Meg April 23, 2018·Singing·

I worked for missy for over 5 years before going off to school. She is incredibly talented, an excellent teacher, and is constantly trying out new techniques that will fit each individual student. I followed her through multiple locations around Nashville, She was always very flexible and would find time to make up lessons either online or in person. Love working with her!

Becky M. April 16, 2018·Singing·In home

I am a novice vocalist. Missy is fun to work with and talk to. She gives vocal exercises and tricks, but explains the reasons for doing them, how they're going to help. She has allowed me to try a range of different types of music. My voice is getting stronger and better and my confidence is getting stronger also. I look forward to my lesson ever week. Missy is very easy to work with.

Kenneth provided a comfortable learning and singing lesson experience. He's a great teacher and I will recommend him to anyone who wants to take singing lessons.

Shereta May 15, 2018·Vocal Training·In studio

Mr. Kenny is a wonderful instructor of voice and piano. His knowledge and passion for his craft shines through in his instructional technique. He is well-versed in all areas of voice, piano and the complete musical arena from the beginning of the history here and abroad up to this present day. He's a humble person who loves what he teaches and he enjoys learning more, also. He doesn't just teach the art, he teaches the art with passion. He is patient and kind and can break down technique and application so the very novice will feel enlightened, encouraged, and empowered. His talent, resourcefulness, and experience can also challenge the most advanced students to move beyond their current level up to the next. He is joyous over each advancement his students obtain and that joy is infectious. I am able to move on from his instruction with more confidence, more talent and more joy towards my art.

Kenneth is an awesome instructor. He shows patience and my son is progressing very quickly.

She is very specific! She doesn't just teach the song but also dynamic. Easy to work with and helps with rescheduling. Kind and courteous!

Ali

Lisa is very outgoing and entertaining. She is encouraging Ali to be braver/less timid when singing and acting...this is exactly what Ali needs. I appreciate Lisa's positive attitude. I would like to split each session into 30 minutes acting and 30 minutes singing. I think both disciplines could reinforce the other. If that seems to short maybe we can move to 1.5 hours.

About James

New 6 Month and One Year Courses Taught: 1. Radio Introduction Personality Broadcasting. 2. Guitar Studies Advanced 3. Music Industry 4. Advanced Composition 5. Sound Design 6. Abelton LIVE 7. Premix Setup and Post Production8. PR and Promotions BusinessBackground: I worked for Eddie Van Halen for five years in the 1990's in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles and was instrumental in providing help with development of the Peavey Wolfgang and Wolfgang Special Guitar by providing feedback on the prototypes Eddie was designing at the time. I learned a lot from Eddie and his brother Alex about music and the music industry. (All you have to do is pay attention! ) I have played in bands from Hollywood to Toronto and back both as a singer songwriter and guitarist. I bring the Musicians Institute way to the table and get things up and ru

nning quickly. I help students get it under their fingers fast and get it right the first time.

I believe in sharing the happiness of making music with anyone who loves music and the guitar in particular. I do my very best to get you playing the songs you love in Pop, Rock, Jazz and Folk Music of your choice. Today's modern new guitars are easy to play and you will enjoy learning Guitar right away. That is how it should be. When you study there is a basic understanding of Guitar to be learned that allows an ease of use for anyone for years to come. This will help you reach your goal and improve each week. My students learn to practice in a way that feels comfortable and makes sense. This takes all the stress out of learning and gives everyone something to smile about and look forward to each week.

The good feeling of playing along with friends and taking a solo is within every students grasp. I will show you the way there. And with a solid and straightforward approach to the theory as it applies directly to the guitar you will feel confident and unafraid of any music endeavor. We'll cover harmony and fingerboard theory and give you a road map of the guitar neck that makes it a pleasure to play. You learn the basics and much more than you thought possible retaining 90 percent of what you learn!

Having been a student myself I was deeply involved in music since age 12 and played in bands and duos for over 15 years . I can help you to be a well rounded player and performer with a smile, a laugh and a joy for music whether your in a band or a budding solo artist.

*** Lesson Details ***Most students want to play the Guitar to play their favorite songs and I'm the same way. Music is something we carry with us in our hearts and minds. Students will learn what they wish to learn and work at a pace that is comfortable to them. Whether you are a student, “weekend warrior” or a parent whose child has expressed an interest in Guitar anyone can learn all there is to know about Harmony and Theory for the Guitar and how to play their favorite songs.

We cover theory in an easy and straightforward no nonsense way in the first half of each lesson and then apply it to the song you wish to learn. This creates an atmosphere where you understand and feel at home with the Guitar. You get an understanding right away and because it is immediately fun it allows you to feel comfortable at any level. Music is fun, and songs are the creative expression of what we feel. Combining theory and the freedom to play and sing songs allows us to express ourselves through music. After 6 months students will have a solid foundation in theory, and a road map of the guitar fretboard enabling them to advance to an intermediate level if they are ready to do so. Students will know enough that music as it relates to the Guitar, which is the world’s most popular instrument in contemporary music, is not a mystery but is a welcome friend. And they will be able to play songs by popular artists and advance at a pace that is satisfying and enjoyable.----------------------------

Student Comments:What Students Are Saying About ~ James Teaching Style

Over the years, I have seen James give guidance and counsel to many hopeful musicians of all ages, and inspire others about how music influences and benefits our lives. I would highly recommend James to anyone who wants to learn guitar, voice, music theory, and acting. James is a great talent, and study with him would benefit anyone with the sincere desire to grow as an artist. When we married, I had fallen in love with James’ conversational style, and his vast knowledge of music. When I heard him play guitar, I knew that I wanted to write songs with him, and we released our first album, in 2012 on iTunes."

I could never sing infront of anyone but he made me feel so natural the first day!!! He is not pushy and does not make you feel rushed or nervous!

Keith is fantastic! He expects the highest level of preparation and performance from me at all my lessons and thus pushes me to be a better performer every time. He tailors my lessons to exactly what I need - specific work for upcoming auditions as well as more general work to expand my repertoire. His lessons are also not not limited singing coaching - he also provides coaching in acting and movement. I feel like I have presented some of my best work to auditors as a result of working with Keith! And he does all this in the friendliest manner possible so that my lessons are always a great combination of fun, hard work, and inspiration.

Yi April 6, 2017·Singing·In studio

Keith is a knowledgeable and great teacher. He will let you feel comfortable at singing and doing all the practices and make you realize what the correct postures and things needed to make you feel confident. Also, he is pretty easy-going with scheduling and just let him know in advance and he will reschedule the class for you. Definitely recommended.

About Mia D.

I ask my students to pick songs from genres ranging from pop to broadway. Please make sure you are picking songs you feel you can create your own story to. To truly feel the passion of a song and have your audience feel your exact emotions, I want you to be believable when you sing.

About Mia

As an orphan in war-torn Sierra Leone, I was delighted to be adopted by an American family when I was nearly five years old. Then I was further overjoyed when I walked into the living room of my new home and discovered a piano! By my fifth birthday I was taking piano lessons. Since that day more than 17 years ago, I have continuously studied classical piano. I began studying jazz piano when I was 13. I began playing the oboe in middle school, and in high school I was the English horn soloist in the Vermont All-State Orchestra and the first oboist in the Green Mountain Youth Orchestra. I sang as a soloist in the Vermont Youth Orchestra Chorus, in the Flynn Theatre’s Jazz Combo, and at the Bill Reed Voice Studio. I recently earned my Master’s Certificate in Singing/ Songwriting from the Berklee College of Music, where I am majoring in son

gwriting and keyboard through the online program so that I can live here in Georgia.

Come by and together let's create MUSIC MAGIC

Clint is a wonderful and talented teacher. I have learned so much and have so much fun working with him.

Jenn December 10, 2018·Vocal Training·In home

Clint is very positive and encouraging. He continues to help my daughter with techniques that enable her to sing with more power and to project well. He also pays close attention song choices — taking care to help select the right piece for the event, purpose, voice/pitch and personality. His trademark smile and upbeat personality make him an ablolute pleasure to work with. In a word — Clint is TERRIFIC.

Clint is a wonderful teacher! I've been working with him for a year and my voice gets stronger every lesson!

About Daisy F.

I am a singer, musician and artist, originally from New York. I absolutely love and live for making music and art of all kinds. One of my greatest joys in life is exploring the bounds and possibilities of music -- especially using harmony, rhythm, emotion, and story.

My goal with offering singing/music lessons is for others to feel encouraged to use their voice and make their own music -- whether that mean in a formal setting, at school, at home, or simply for personal joy or curiosity (a very important reason). Everyone has an endless range of musical capabilities and sometimes one just needs the tools or confidence to develop them!

I can work within any range of genres or styles. Let me know what type of lessons you are looking for! I particularly believe in focusing on ear training and close listening to music that you personally enjoy -- a kind of fun and immersive teaching -- rather than hurling technical information at you. However, we can discuss theoretical and technical ...

Hello! I am a singer, musician and artist, originally from New York. I absolutely love and live for making music and art of all kinds. One of my greatest joys in life is exploring the bounds and possibilities of music -- especially using harmony, rhythm, emotion, and story.

My goal with offering singing/music lessons is for others to feel encouraged to use their voice and make their own music -- whether that mean in a formal setting, at school, at home, or simply for personal joy or curiosity (a very important reason). Everyone has an endless range of musical capabilities and sometimes one just needs the tools or confidence to develop them!

I can work within any range of genres or styles. Let me know what type of lessons you are looking for! I particularly believe in focusing on ear training and close listening to music that you pe

rsonally enjoy -- a kind of fun and immersive teaching -- rather than hurling technical information at you. However, we can discuss theoretical and technical concepts as is necessary, since these can be important tools. We can also go through exercises and warm ups, and perhaps record songs or work up covers. Whatever helps you on your path in music!

Whether you have no background in music, are interested in composing your own tunes, working up covers, or are a student -- if you are passionate or even just curious about music and/or trying something new, send me a message! I would love to talk to you and schedule a meet-up (in-person or online).

About Jesika P.

I am a performing arts instructor; I first take the time to learn about my students dreams, goals and aspirations.

I create opportunities for my students so their talent can be heard and discovered .

About Jesika

Hello I am Instructor Shada; I have been singing since the age of 2 and I am now 33. Long time huh, well I have a true passion for singing it's not just something I do but it is apart of who I am. Singing for me is my game changer; when I'm sad I sing, stressed I sing, happy I sing. My passion for singing came from years of singing in church and launching my own gospel career, I have taught performing arts classes at Gminor studios, Atlanta Metropolitan College, and Bauder College. I worked with several churches such as Kingdom Connect and Harvestime. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your vocal goals.

Review by Vicki

"I signed up for singing lesson on a whim. Sara was great; very patience and knowledgeable. Please take in consideration, I have no music or instrument ba

ckground so we worked on breathing and body position which she made fun then at the end of each lesson we sang a song or two. After each lesson, I left with new knowledge and one or two thing to work on that week. For a spur of a moment decision, I obtain a new understanding of music, singing, and met a wonderful creative lady. Good Experience all around."

Review by Laura

"Keith is fantastic! He expects the highest level of preparation and performance from me at all my lessons and thus pushes me to be a better performer ever

y time. He tailors my lessons to exactly what I need - specific work for upcoming auditions as well as more general work to expand my repertoire. His lessons are also not not limited singing coaching - he also provides coaching in acting and movement. I feel like I have presented some of my best work to auditors as a result of working with Keith! And he does all this in the friendliest manner possible so that my lessons are always a great combination of fun, hard work, and inspiration."

"Laurelanne made me feel so comfortable on my first singing lesson. No one ever feels comfortable singing for the first time in front of someone else and s

he did it! I was taught breathing techniques and I really hope to eventually sing at a festival in a year when I become really good. She's definitely the person to go to if you want to learn to sing!!"

Review by Leona

"Great Vocal Coach

So many voice teachers that I had in the past focused ONLY on singing classical styles. My teenage son is not looking to be an opera st

ar, but needed help with his range and breathing to sing rock, pop, and musical theater. Sasha has professional experience performing this type of music and is giving my son some useful and practical techniques to help him in the real world of today's music. She is patient, knowledgeable, and seems to really care about her students. Big thumbs up!"

"Lessons with Sasha are great. Ive only ever sung to myself and rarely in a band setting, so nerves are pretty high. Sasha is non-judgemental and seeks to

find areas of weakness and assigns lessons that serve to correct them. I look forward to lessons and sense improvement with eack week."
